To THE EDITOR OF THE SPORTING
LIFE:
SIR: Sullivan, the bogus champion,
is at his old game again and seeks tU
make capital out OF the recent ;nterr o.
tional fight by challenging both men nt
a time when be should have held his
peace. When he is through with me /
don't think he will want any more en-.
gagements under new prizs ring rules,
for am vain enough TO fancy he will
then realize the fact that he Is not even
hstie marvel.
Sullivan has only fought once and
then with o man who did not rank
higher thHn selling platter. Having
refused co fight Kli-ain before he left
America Am suse nobody will believe
Sullivan Is in earnest now. II he is let
him cover Mr.. Richard K. Fox's de
posit Of e200. following 80 closely On
the recent gallant fight.
Sullivan's challenge 10 unworthy OF
notice, aad II he lakes my tip he will
let the matter rest, as / consider it is q
monkey to pony or Kiirain Or Jem
Smith whipping him.
